Another UK minister quits over Brexit deal
London: British Government Minister Sam Gyimah quit late on Friday over Prime Minister Theresa May’s “naive” Brexit plan, dealing her another blow in her fight to pass. The universities and science minister is the seventh member of May’s Government to quit since she brought back the draft Withdrawal Agreement from Brussels. Gyimah, who voted to remain in the EU, said the deal was “not in the British national interest” and that voting for it would set Britain “up for failure”.
“Britain will end up worse off, transformed from rule makers into rule takers,” he wrote on Facebook. “It is a democratic deficit and a loss of sovereignty the public will rightly never accept,” he added.
